What Nvidia's New A100 GPU Means For the Data Center and AI

In May Nvidia announced its A100 GPU, the first high end AI chip from Nvidia since 2017. This chip is fast, hot, big, and really sets the stage for AI hardware for the next few years. To discuss its implications, we’ve invited two of the most original voices covering semiconductors today, Paul Teich, principle analyst at Liftr, a semiconductor veteran who spent over 20 years at AMD and Dylan Patel who is a data scientist by trade and writes about the semiconductor industry on his website semianalysis.com.
